Research Mind Map Whiteboard Template
Start with an editable central topic and connected branches for research, ideas, and questions inside a Kition whiteboard.
Research Mind Map Whiteboard Template
Real fields and representative values
| Node | Role | Connector | Review question |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central topic | Research question | Root | Is the scope specific? |
| Research / Ideas / Questions | Evidence / options / unknowns | Curved branches | Are facts separated? |
Best for
Researchers, product teams, writers, students, and facilitators exploring a question before committing to an outline.
Use it when
You need a quick visual model that separates known research, possible ideas, and unresolved questions.
Choose another system when
Do not use the visual map as the final evidence record; link important claims back to documents or source notes.
A visible structure you can inspect.
These are the real fields, nodes, or visual elements that make the template useful. Rename them when your process differs; do not preserve a field only because it was bundled.
01
Central topic — defines the question or subject.
02
Research branch — collects evidence and known context.
03
Ideas branch — keeps possibilities separate from facts.
04
Questions node — makes unresolved work visible.

Product evidence
What is already real
- The built-in template uses editable native whiteboard elements.
- Research and Ideas use visually distinct branch colors.
- The root node is preserved for continued mind-map editing.
Limits
What this template does not promise
- The template does not research or validate claims automatically.
- Large maps require deliberate grouping and pruning.
- Source citations belong in linked notes or documents.
